![]() As far as annoyances go, it’s pretty minor, but it still slowed me down, and it irritated me that it couldn’t just accurately read the UPC on the back to begin with.Īnother annoyance resides with the search function. And what do you know, it worked like a charm-of the hundreds of books I scanned last night, I got one false hit from using the UPC on the inside cover, but the rest of the time, it behaved beautifully. I was ready to stab a bitch.īut before the stabbings began, we asked tech support what the hell was up, and it turns out that if you scan the UPC in the inside front cover of the paperback, all is well-it’ll pull the right information. This had me incredulous at first-are you shitting me? Did these people have no idea how many MMPBs people buy and keep? The vast majority of my collection consists of MMPBs. This mofo was convinced that all my Neil Gaiman books were sparkly pink butterfly hairclips, and it flat-out couldn’t find the information for most of my science fiction and romance collection. And if you misenter something, deleting or undoing changes is a snap.įirst of all, if you’re scanning in mass market paperbacks and use the UPC on the back, it’s going to read the barcode, but it’s not going to pull up accurate information, if it can find anything at all. ![]() It’s all quite ridiculously easy to use, and it pretty much has fields for just about every goddamn thing you can think of-edition notes, whether or not it was signed, whether or not it’s a rare edition, the condition of the book, whether you bought it used, etc. Books without ISBNs, such as very old books or ARCs, can be entered manually-you can conduct a search by entering keywords such as the title and author and it’ll search through ’s database for hits, or you can create a blank book and enter everything by hand. If you get a false hit, you can search using the ISBN, which is by far the quickest and most accurate way to search. You need to change the angle of the book at first, and futz around with distance, but once you figure out how the software likes it, you can buzz along at a good clip. So, first things first: does the webcam barcode scanner work? Also, my obsession with owning first edition copies of Laura Kinsale novels in mint condition borders on the creepy, but we already know that my love for her books is like a truck, eh?)ĪNYWAY, back to the review of Delicious Library itself. I think I have everything she’s ever published except for her incredibly hard-to-find Regencies. 520 books, motherfuckers! (Realization: The extent of Anne Stuart’s backlist that I own is bordering on the ridiculous. ![]() I stayed up until 3:30 in the morning last night scanning in about half of my book collection. I don’t have a MacBook for myself, but I’m lucky enough that my good friend and roommate is willing to lend me her MacBook and share her copy of Delicious Library with me. Sound too good to be true? Well, it kind of is, a little, but by and large it totally works as advertised. You can buy a barcode scanner, too, and use that, but the thing is, you don’t have to. The feature that had me hopping with agonized ready-to-poop-my-pants excitement was the fact that it utilizes the webcam as a barcode scanner. If you don’t know what it is yet, it’s basically software for cataloguing your stuff-books, CDs, DVDs, games, whatever. You bibliophile tech-geeky Mac owners have probably heard of Delicious Library those of you with Windows machines are probably gnashing your teeth with envy. This totals to $40, which is what DL1 alone cost before May 27, so it's not really much of a change except you have to pay less up-front, which I figure nobody will complain about.ĭelicious Library 1 isn't currently linked from the main site (I'm not sure where to put it) but you can get it from. However, the free upgrade offer from DL1 to DL2 ends at midnight on (with the lowering of DL1's price), so if you later buy Leopard it'll cost $20 to go to DL2 as well. Note that DL2 only runs on Leopard, so I'm going to keep selling Delicious Library 1 as long as there is interest, but for $20 instead of $40. Or why not just download it from - I mean, it's free to try out, and DL2 makes a copy of your Delicious Library 1 collection so you can always go back. ![]() I could blah blah blah a lot about it, but basically the entire website has been re-written to sell DL2, so please explore it. I'm very proud of it, and very exhausted. There are over a hundred new features in 2, and hundreds more bug fixes. Delicious Library 1.0 only took seven months to write, so, obviously, this one was a lot harder. We've been working on Delicious Library 2 since November of 2004, with six months out to do internationalization of Delicious Library 1.5, and four or so months to rewrite iSight scanning for internal iSights in Delicious Library 1.6. ![]() Opening and dedicationĪ gathering of thousands came to the dedication of the newly finished memorial on September 18, 1927. The design influenced other projects undertaken by architects and builders during the era. The monument's location on a hilltop was accentuated by massive earthworks and landscaping designed to look as if nature alone had shaped the site. The memorial was built in a prominent place in a shape reminiscent of the castles of the Teutonic Knights. The architects imagined the memorial to be a new volkish "community of the dead" and incorporated the burial of 20 unknown German soldiers from the Eastern Front into the project concept. This ideology was mooted in Germany in the 1920s and 1930s. In doing so, the architects anticipated the concept of Totenburgen (Fortresses of the Dead) housing mass graves of soldiers. The memorial embraced the Anglo/French concept of the Unknown Soldier. ![]() 8 Hindenburg's disinterment and partial demolition of the memorial.The octagonal layout with eight towers, each 67 feet (20 m) high, was influenced by Holy Roman Emperor Frederick II's Castel del Monte, and by Stonehenge. The victorious German commander, Paul von Hindenburg, became a national hero, and was later elected Reichspräsident.ĭedicated by Hindenburg on the 10th anniversary of the battle of Tannenberg in 1924 near Hohenstein (Ostpreußen) (now Olsztynek, Poland), the structure, which was financed by donations, was built by the architects Johannes and Walter Krüger of Berlin and completed in 1927. The Tannenberg Memorial commemorated fallen German soldiers of the second Battle of Tannenberg in 1914, which was named after the medieval battle of the same name. ![]() I am going to put the Earmen Sparrow on my recommended list on strength of its output power.Īs always, questions, comments, recommendations, etc. El Colibri sigue siendo un dispositivo bastante potente, capaz de proporcionar hasta 3V por la salida balanceada y 1.5V por la salida SE. ![]() There are other choices out there with slightly less power but much lower distortion so you decide which is best for you. EarMen ha optado por seguir usando como DAC el chip ES9281 PRO, que le permite soportar la reproducción de archivos de hasta 32bit/384kHz PCM, DoP, DSD64, DSD128 y MQA. Based on that I was going to give it poor scores but the powerful output stage, especially in balanced mode, rescues it and pushes it to above average subjective performance. EarMen products are designed and engineered by Miki Trosic, renowned throughout t the audio industry as the founder of Auris Audio. The distortion rating of Earmen Sparrow is high. EarMen Enjoy music without limits Portable High Performance Audio Devices for All Powerful audio components elegantly designed for simple plug & play use. The EarMen Eagle is our favorite portable headphone amplifier/DAC. to many small portable devices on the market, EarMen wants to set the. AudioQuest DragonFly Red Portable USB DAC/Headphone Amp. I would use balanced cables with high impedance headphones for good results. Battery powered Premium Balanced DAC/Headphone amp/Preamp Fully balanced 4.4mm output. I then switched to Sennheiser HD-650 using unbalanced mode, here the output level was just sufficient. ![]() Sure, the last 20% of the volume could make slight static but stay below that and performance was very good. I was very impressed with volume level and impact of bass frequencies indicating sufficient power. I want to try and decode MQA while using Roon if possible. I started my listening tests using the inefficient 25 ohm, Ether CX headphone via a balanced cable. More seriously, the EarMen Sparrow is a portable DAC/Amp, based on the new Sabre 9218 Pro chipset. I just got a little portable MQA DAC from Auris Audio that has USB in and stereo RCA analog outputs. ![]() It was the first and last time "Mona Lisa" would be on the radio. Ladies and gentlemen / I've got a little story to tell About Mona Lisa / and how she suddenly fell See, everyone knew her / they knew her oh so well Now I am taking over / to release her from her spell She's unforgettable / She was a legend though It's kind of pitiful / That's she's gone It's kind of incredible / She's so unpredictable It's time to let her go / Cuz she's gone Spears introduced the song she'd come to play, "Mona Lisa." "Alright, so maybe by the summer? Maybe by the fall?" "It's probably going to be called Original Doll, so…" "I walked out there, there wasn't one camera anywhere." "Britney Spears live in studio! Do you have to take a super-secret CIA mission-secure route to Burbank from your crib so you don't get followed?" Lozano asked. "She had a CD with her and said, 'Can we play it on the air?'" But an hour later, the singer was outside the station's Burbank studio with a bodyguard, her chihuahua, and, Lozano recalled, no shoes. "Usually, you don't believe that," he told BuzzFeed in March. "She says she wants to play her new song." "Britney Spears is on the phone," he was told. It was December 2004, just before New Year's Eve, and Jesse Lozano was filling in for the regular host, who was on vacation. The KIIS-FM offices in Burbank, Calif., were nearly deserted the day Britney Spears called. ![]() However if it's a program conflict of some sort, why is it still there when I reinstall System 6? I have some applications like Stuffit 3.x and Disk Copy, but they're sitting in a separate folder and not being run. Bad copy of the System 6.0.8 disk (also unlikely) SCSI conflict of some sort (also unlikely as the HD and CD seem to work just fine)ģ. Bad ROM or Memory (unlikely as those give different errors and stop the system from booting)Ģ. All I can come up with at this point is that it might be:ġ. Could just the presence of a bad program in a folder cause the Mac to go wonky or does it have to be 'installed' into the System folder for that to happen? I wiped my System folder and reinstalled System 6.0.8 but I'm still having problems. Just got an Illegal Instruction error in the control panel again. I'll try downloading it directly and see. I think this isn't the one I got from the authors website, but another sit. Fools Errand crashes on Wheel of Fortune even booting from the System Disk. ![]() With Gunshy I wonder if it's not looking for Icons for the tiles in the system somewhere and being blocked? Very odd.ĮDIT: It's not just booting from the HD. I suppose I can just boot from a System Disk to avoid most of these issues, but I'm really curious as to why they're happening. In addition when I boot from the HD (with the CD Drivers) The Fools Errand crashes with an Illegal Instruction error after starting The Wheel of Fortune Puzzle and Dark Castle complains about memory (although that's not really a crash, but I do have 4MB with almost no extensions being loaded). Shuffle Puck Cafe crashes with an illegal Instruction error after the Broderbund Screen (might be a bad copy), Gunshy crashes with an Illegal Instruction error on startup (this program seems very touchy for some reason). Booting from a System Disk I still get errors in games. I'll try and do more tests tonight and see if I can pin point the problem with certainty. One I think is for the MAGIC menu and I'm not sure what the other one does).ĭoes anyone know if StuffIt Deluxe 4.01 has a history of problems with 6.0.8 or maybe with the Mac Plus in general? I think I have a copy of StuffIt 1.5.3 that I can use instead, but obviously I'd like to use the latest version that works on my machine. :scrambled: I think it may have something to do with the extensions it's loading (there are two. It seems that after I install it and reboot things start to go wonky. Through trial and error I think I've determined that StuffIt Deluxe 4.01 is the culprit. Since I had no idea what caused the problem I took my Mac back to a base level and started over again installing everything one at a time and testing. Now suddenly I'm getting Unimplemented Instruction, Unimplemented Trap, and Address Error errors (and even the occasional No CoProcessor Installed error) when starting and exiting certain games and even when going into the Control Panel. At first everything seemed to be going fine so I started loading some apps and games on the HD. It has 4MB, a 500MB external HD, an CD Drive (an Apple CD150), and is running System 6.0.8.

Here we will look at several different wifi water timers, compare their capabilities, ease of use, interface, and flexibility, and pick our favorites. In this article, we’re focusing more on the home DIY user who intends to hook up to a spigot. Generally, the systems that tie into professionally-installed lawn sprinkler systems are a bit more advanced. The Rain Bird interface reviewed below does use a lawn sprinkler system, so homeowners with an existing system can consider that option, or others such as the Rachio 3 Sprinkler Timer. They attach to a standard garden hose spigot, and are not the same as those that are used in conjunction with a lawn sprinkler system. ![]() We should note that the products we’re looking at here are mostly smart hose faucet timer systems. Instead of building a custom interface, many of these water timers use the Smart Home app, which is sort of a universal app for controlling smart devices in your home. Whether its a smoother interface on the app, having more options to control it, or generally being easier to use, there are often significant differences between products. Some of these products work significantly better than others, and the whole product category is pretty new. Expandable systems use a central hub device to manage multiple valves. Simply hook the wifi water timer to your existing faucet, download the corresponding app, and go through the process to sync your app to the faucet. From there, you are able to control the flow of water from your phone or computer by using the wireless water timer interface to open and control a valve. You will become more efficient with your water use, which is great for your wallet, for your garden, and for the environment. Proper use and installation of a wifi smart water timer can lead to saving yourself time, and ultimately money. The app is compatible with iPhone, android and other web devices so it is easy to access from anywhere. The weather sense technology of the timer detects the overall weather condition before watering the plants, and the system is easily expandable to include additional hose faucets. You can program the timer with the helpful B-hyve app and control its functions from the app. Our favorite WiFi water timer is the Orbit 21004 B-hyve Smart Hose Faucet Timer. Wireless water timers are great tools for anyone with a lawn, patio plantings, or a drip irrigation system. Even if you are not around, you can make sure that the lawn is watered. These timers can be programmed using an app on your phone. When planting new grass seed or landscaping the job becomes multifold as you might need to water multiple times a day.Ī WiFi water timer is the best solution to this problem. If you have a large lawn, you know how difficult it can be to keep it watered and well-maintained. 8 Conclusion: Best Wireless Water Timer.7.9 Editors Note: Zilker Water Hose Faucet Timer (discontinued).7.8 RainRobot SC6400 Smart Irrigation Controller/Smart Hose Timer.7.7 Melnor RainCloud Internet Controlled Smart Water Irrigation Timer.7.6 Netro Pixie Smart Hose Faucet Timer.7.3 Rainpoint Sprinkler Timer with Wi-Fi Hub. ![]()

DD includes a pair of billy clubs (just two, though, leaving one slot in each holster empty), an extra hair piece (re-used from Terminator 2’s young John Connor), and a clear display stand. The way they’ve done his pupils is unique from other characters, and helps sell that he’s blind. The face under the mask is great for action set-ups, with his teeth gritted and his brow furrowed. The grey high lights are a very effective way of creating dimension on the torso, legs, and mask, and make the suit look quite dynamic. The color scheme is bold, and the line work is super crisp. The arm wraps are from Street Fighter VS Tekken’s Heihachi (also re-used on the Best Of Iron Fist), and are pretty basic pieces, which certainly work for his comics look. The mask and holsters come from the Series 43 version of DD (though that release only had a single holster, not two), and make sense, since the design elements have remained consistent. He has add-ons for his mask, wrist wraps, and holsters. ![]() The figure is built on the standard ‘mate body, so he stands 2 1/4 inches tall and has 14 points of articulation. ![]() It’s actually a pretty sharp look, though I’m of course still partial to the classic red.
